FRONT ELEVATION.


The plan here given is one which has been
nsed some three or four times during the last
year. though each time with certain modifi-
cations. No one ever builds exactly the same
house as his neighbor. Housekeeping habits
or instincts lead to changes. The arrange
ment of rooms in house is not alwaysa mat
ter Of reason. It is frequently matter of
preference or prejudice. have drawn and
lettered the plan here given just as it was
used the last tifne.e There are different ways
Of handling the general arrangement as here
shown. The three front rooms might be kept
just as they are, excepting that the dining
room could be placed Immediately back Of
the hall, and the china closet and pantries
placed on that side OF the house. This would
bring the sitting room in the place now
mentioned as a dining room, and would give
a parlor in front In one of the houses, as
built, there was rear stairway running from
one of the small bedrooms up stairs to little
ball at one side of the kitchen below. The
CELLAR stairway was under it. Another thing
which might be denc would be to continue
the part Gyer the kitchen two stories high and
use the rear stairway above mentioned for
tho purpose of gaining ACCESS to servants
room, bath room and one of the small bed
rooms The bath room would be next to tho
kitchen Hue 50 that the plumbing pipes might
be run up next to it in a way to prevent
freezing.
To take the plan rs it is we find that there
are eight rooms arranged according to low
cost ideas. First, there is porch in front
from which we enter the hall, which is y 1Sx10
feet In dimensions. The stairway Is Of mod
ern plan, with landing five steps up from
the floor. Over this landing is square win
dow in which may be placed cathedral glass.
There are newell posts on the first step and at
the landings There is place for u bat rack
either next to the stairway. or at the left OF
the door entering the sitting room In case
it were placed here there might be closet
under the hall stairway and leading into the
hall; otherwise it might be entered from the
library. This closet Is not shown ON the
plan. There ara folding doors between the
sitting ROOM and dining room and between
tbs dining room aud the library. These doors
might be changed TO sliding doors for $40 for
zach opening
The sitting room is the best room in the
house, as it should be; in il is CRATE There
are double windows In front. There is plenty
Of wall space for piano or furniture. The
room which IS called the library Is used, in
the instance which have In mind. as study
by young professional man. The side door
way shown might be placed so a. TO open to
the rear porch by moving the cellar stairway
50 that 1t would run lenythway of the
kitchen. II more isolation i required from
the dining room single rather than double
doors might be used. This wonid giv- addi-
tional wall space
II is to DO noticed that the faue sta.kas dr.
ranged for the dining room and library does
not admit ,f n Y.a r,- fay a;,, ,,crd .,eh

Food Left Over at Hotels.

Another mystery to tue public Is, what Is
done with cooked food that is left over.
Now, here is where the services OF good
steward comes into play. It is the duty Of
the night clerk to count the number OF guests
living in the hotel, which he sends to the
baker at 5 o'clock in the morning. The baker
allows certain portion to each person and
bahes eceorling TO the number Of persons in
tie house, allowing. of course, d wide margin
for day visitors. The cook is also sent q list,
and In consultation with the steward an
anoant of food Is decided upon Tor the days

the two men good mathematicians. and they

SHOULD any food bs left over it is served out

regular food cooked for them. II one were

EX-GOVERNOR PITKIN. may be briefly told
as follows: He was born in Manchester. Conn,
Aug 81, 1887, and studied ut the Wesleyan
university in Middletown, his graduation
taking place in 1855 His legal education
was obtained at tho Albany (N. VI law
school, and after leaving this institution he
settled down TO practice his profession in Mil
waukee Here his health failed him, and in
1878 he sought recuperation in Europe, but
was brought home year later quite pros
trated. Then he pushed fnrtaer west in
search of health, and found it in mipmg
camp in Colorado, then just admitted to the
Union, Practice came with returning health,
and he had secured some good mining prep
crty when he was Nominated to the guberna-
torial chair in 1878. Strong opposition could
not defeat him, and two years he was re-
elected to the same high Office. His adn,inis-
tration was marked BY strong good sense. At
che close of his second term he was spoken of
for senator, but his ilLheaith would not per-

and aII OF those who for certain personal rea-
sons were not pleased with it, at once jumped
TO the conclusion that Judge Gresham was a
candidate for the presidency, and that his am

moved him in delivering at Gould and the

SOLDIERS ASLEEP.
The voice Of the wind as It passes

The voice Of the wind as It passes
Makes musical hum,
Eut harkl through the rustic of grasses
The beat of the drum
A sob and q low voice that trembles,
down dropping head,
The morning Of May time dissembles,
We meet by the dead.
But oil are as one In their ending,
No sound of the strife
Comes up from the dust that is blending
To fashion the life
OF grasses and sweet scented briers, FS
And deep tinted blooms
That burn out their delicate fires
BY numberless tombs.
Tho maiden who mourns for her lover,
Or friend for his friend,
Learns here that the battles are over;
That this is the end
And mothers, who meet in their weeping,
With quivering mouth
Ask not If their sons that nre sleeping
Came Northwarl or South.
